confidence and responsibility. Within these
three years, 30 far ascertained. he has &C
quired a deficit of $40 000 On June 16 last
he forged two checks for 5000 each on the North

drew up a check said bank to the

such technichality, and it is not too much to

THIS MIGHT HAVE PLEASED THEM.

Judge Woods's charge to the jury in the
conspiracy case seems not to have pleased the
gang and their organ. Probably the follow
ing is about the charge they would have
liked:
Gentlemen of the Jury: The defendants
in this case are indicted under L United States
law intended to preserve the purity of cleo
tons. The law seems to have been designed
for the partisan purpose of embarrassing the
Democratic party and arbitrarily reduc-
ing their majorities, but you not at
liberty to question the motives of Congress.
Something has been said in this case about
the Importance of fair and honest elections
and the gravity of the crime involved in an
alteration of tally-sheets. Permit me to say
there is a good deal of stuff of that kind ut
tered that seems calculated and intended to
injure the Democratic party. You will try
and disabuse your minds of any impressions
made by this kind of talk. 1t may as well be
stated here as anywhere that this is politi-
cal persecution. The side of the government
and the law which has been ingeniously rep
resented to you as the cause of good govern
ment and honest elections is really nothing
but Republican conspiracy to harass Ger
tain prominent and active Democrats.

A Protest from Arcadia.

To the Editor OF the indianapolis Jou rnal:
The Arcadia Gas Company desires to have
word 60 say concerning a statement made in the
Journal of July 80. follows:
The eleventh gas well in the Noblesville gas field
was drilled feet into the Trenton rock.
Arcadia, last vsning. Though not large well
those in the immediate vicinity of Noblesville, it is
a good well. and of sufficient force to blow large
pieces of stone through and the top OF the
derrick.
How the Arcadia well can be the eleventh
Noblesville well is a question the company
would like to have explained. The Noblesville
gas field may extend to Cicero, but to claim
thatit extends beyond that point is a bit of
foolishness that could be INDUCED in only by
such hoggish little hamlet Noblesville.
That our we'll is ''i,ear" Arcadia is simply I'M
true. That our we'll is smaller than any Mobiles
vile well is pretty tough story. when we con-
slider the fact that N.1blesville but well,
and that completely failed few days ago.
Then to complete tho catalogue your cores
pondent says ours is good we'll So far
we'll is concerned it sho VS. for itself. and no
matter what Noblesvii1e Iuay cay in dsparage-
ment of it, the fact re mains that Arcadia has
great gas well. Arcadia morley paid for 1t and

considering the testimony

In considering the testimony you
will not lose sight of this main fact. In Grim
inal prosecutions IN this court it is always
competent for the jury to inquire into the mo-
tlves of the prosecution. In this inquiry you
are at liberty TO assume that the theory of the
law IS that society has no rights that rascals
are bound to respect. Gentlemen OF the jury,
the defendants are charged with having been
engaged in a conspiracy to procure the re-
moval of the tally-sheets in violation of the
law, from the keeping of the lawful custodians
Suppose they did; you not to presume it
was for an unlawful purpose. 1t might have
been for the purpose of correcting errors made
IN the original count In all matters of this
kind it is necessary to have the supervision of
a superior intelligence. It is fair to assume
that four or five good Democrats know what
the returns ought to be better than several
thousand voters could know. A local states
man has said: The fewer men you have in
this politics. the better You will not fail to
notice that the case for the prosecu-
ton rests mainly on the testimony
of one Perkins You NAV throw that
out altogether 1t is evidently one-sided
and unworthy of belief. You may also disre-
gard the corroborating circumstances and the
deductions OF counsel as to motives, oppor
tunities etc. These outside of the case.
You may also disregard the taly-sheets put in
evidence claiming to show alterations. The
erasures were doubtless made by officers of
the election board, and the testimony in re-
gard to the use of acid is frivolous. What
they call acid is evidently nothing but drop
OF preparation from some Democrat honestly
trying to verify the figures. Gentlemen of
the jury. you will infer from what has been
SAID that the Court has grave doubts-frst,
to the constitutionality of the law under
which this prosecution is instituted; second,
as to the jurisdiction of the court; third, as
to whether any crime was committed, and
fourth, as to the guilt of the defendants.
Add to this the evidence they have introduced
as to good character and spotless lives and
you must see that there is absolutely no case
against the defendants. Gentlemen, you are
at liberty to return verdict of mot guilty
without leaving the box, or you can retire for
few minutes and mediate. / may as well
add that under the present Indictment you
cannot return verdict against the committee

In apportioning the disgrace for the tenn
porarary triumph of the tally-sheet forgers
we must not forget the Republicans who tes-
titled to the good character of the defend
ants. The Democratic experts simply swore
as they voted. If they had been on the jury
they would doubtless have done as the Demo-
cratic jurors did-shut their eyes and con-
sciences and voted to acquit the defendants
without regard to law or evidence. With the
Republicans it was different. They had not
even the excuse of partisan bias. They knew
